STRAWBERRIES & CIGARETTES [CHAPTER 7]

Jungkook inhales a long breath before mustering up the courage to knock. "Should I? No? Yeah? Will she even open the door? She opened it when mom went to her house." He bites his lip, contemplating his decision carefully.

After standing there for almost 15 minutes, pondering about knocking or not. He mustered the courage to knock at the door but didn't receive any response. He again knocked but no one came.

He glanced here and there and decides to peek inside from the window. Everything was so dark, that he couldn't see anything inside.

He squints his eyes, his hands on either side of his face, retaining the sunlight. "I can't see anything—"

"What are you doing?" Jungkook flinches, bumping into the person in the process.

She sighs, tilts her head, and ts-ks. "Uhm...I was—"

"You were peeking in my house without my permission and why you're always bumping into me?" She snaps at him, folding her arms, eyeing him, annoyed.

Jungkook gulps, not knowing what to excuse because he knew he was the wrong one and she saw him peeking into her home. So there was no way he can scurry away from the scene.

She dips her hand in her pocket, pulling out a box of cigarettes. Jungkook was staring at her curiously, standing there like a good boy, his hands on his back.

She rested one between her lips. "Light my cigarette." She mumbles, her tone bossy. "But I don't have a light—" She throws a lighter to him and nods her head towards her cigarette. Jungkook immediately catches it with his good reflexes, smiling proudly.

He steps a little towards her, lighting the cigarette. "What do you want?" She queries, puffing it."I...I'm curious about you. You seem like a mystery—a mystery which is never solved...I want to do it." She exhales the smoke out of her mouth onto Jungkook's face and coughs—not used to the smoke.

"I am a human, not a movie or puzzle. I think you're out of your mind—" Jungkook interrupts her in between, challenging her.

"Then why do you always wear a cap hiding your face?  Why don't you interact with others like all your neighbours? Why do you always give candies to others—and that too strawberry ones? Why you're always wearing black? And why did you introduce yourself as.....killer or shadow?"

She grits her teeth, getting annoyed with his observations. She didn't want anyone to interfere in her life anymore. She was already frustrated by people asking her questions again and again.

"Why do you care? It's my life—I can do whatever I want, I can meet whoever I want to, I can hide my face whenever I want to, I can give anything to anyone I want to—Stay. Out. Of. My. Life!"

She roars at him, panting because her temper was getting out of her control—Oh, how she wanted to punch this guy's face because of interfering in her life—wanting to solve her mystery? She scoffs at him, how can he just say that in front of her face? Doesn't he have any shame? My life isn't a mystery, it's called misery.

She didn't want to be solved, she's not a puzzle that people will solve. She's not an alien he's curious about—she's also a human, same as him. The only difference is he's happy and she's not. He wants to live but she doesn't. They are both humans—with different lives, and different problems but that doesn't make her a mystery. That doesn't give people the right to poke their noses in her life.

Everyone has miseries and sorrows. Some try to cover it with a fake smile and cry alone at night with their head buried in a pillow or shower running in the washroom, while some are tired of faking their emotions.

So what if she's not comfortable interacting with someone? Does that make her weird? What if she doesn't want the world to see her face? Does that make her a mystery? What if she introduces herself as a shadow? What is it to people? It's also a name! She has a name! Isn't that enough for people? She isn't someone who will take people's shit. She has every right to do whatever she wants to.

"Get out of my sight," Jungkook bites his lip. Did he say something wrong? "And don't you dare come near my house.....or I will break your jaw!" After warning him, she leave him there baffled. She slams her door shut but before shutting the door, she didn't forget to warn him.

"If I saw you again here.....I will—You will know." And slams the door. Jungkook stood there, baffled.

"Did I do something wrong?

Damnit, he couldn't see her face again because she was again wearing a cap. Why she's always wearing a cap? Is she hiding something?

She told him to not be around her but he was a stubborn ass kid who don't listen to others. He will do what others will restrict him from doing.

"I will get to know who you are." He mumbles, rubbing his hands together. He turns around, glances at her home one last time, and takes his steps to his house.

"What he wants? Why he's interested in me?" God, I hate this man already. She scoffs and fills her glass with alcohol, trying to get away from the horrible thoughts consuming her mind.

I love her! Do you?

And is Jungkook dumb or something? God! Can't you tell you pissed her off? Like bro, get your head checked cause you're getting on my nerves.

(Disclaimer: I'm just—Not hating on the character but he's so dumb! By the way, I love his character. No hate ✌️ )
